Chapter 182 The Secret of the Class Teacher Returning to the Picture Scroll
Fifty miles outside the shallow rocky beach, the Daqin military camp is stationed.
Emperor Pingle finally waited for the military report from Xijing City to send troops south.
Moreover, he also knew the 'truth' about Xijing Baiyi's treason, so he urgently summoned Jiang Yu'er.
As soon as he saw Jiang Yu'er entering the camp, Emperor Pingle greeted him: "Brother Jiang, thanks to you for reminding me this time, there is indeed something wrong with Bai Yi's treason in Xijing."
After saying that, he handed the general report into Jiang Yuer's hands.
After reading the military report, Jiang Yu'er said directly: "Your Majesty, this is the best time to defeat the Southern Territory Army. As soon as the Xijing Army arrives, we can attack from both front and rear, cooperating inside and outside."
"That's right." Emperor Pingle nodded affirmatively: "What we need to do now is to discuss the attack time with the defenders of Shallow Beach in advance. I think it's better to send Jiang Chenshui this time. What do you think, Brother Jiang?"
Jiang Yuer will naturally not object.
After all, Jiang Chenshui had already been there once, and he was familiar with the people on the road.
"I have no objection. However, in addition to informing the garrison of Shallow Beach to coordinate internal and external cooperation, we should also arrange the offensive route and generals in advance."
"Yes, Brother Jiang, what do you think?" Emperor Pingle asked immediately.
Jiang Yu'er thought for a while and then said: "As the deputy general for this expedition, Bai Mei has experience in leading troops in combat. I think he should be the vanguard general."
"Okay, what else?"
"Luo Yu and Ji's Tang Wei have explored the terrain a few days ago. They can be accompanied by the two generals on the left and right, and also serve as deputy generals to increase combat experience, while His Majesty will lead the central army." Jiang Yu'er.
After thinking for a while he replied.
"This...is inappropriate." Emperor Pingle shook his head.
"What's wrong?"
"Although Luo Yu is the princess of our Great Qin Dynasty, her military skills are still a bit lacking. It is really inappropriate for her to also serve as deputy general." Emperor Pingle said directly.
When Jiang Yuer heard this, he actually understood a little bit.
However, he still asked: "I wonder who your Majesty would like to be your deputy general?"
"What I mean is that I will personally lead the central army, Bai Mei will be the forward general, and Brother Jiang will lead the left army. We can make Luo Yu the first staff general, and then let General Zuo be Brother Jiang's deputy general." Pingle Emperor
After finishing speaking, he added: "As for the right army, according to Brother Jiang's opinion, it can be led by General You, with Tang Wei as deputy general."
Sure enough, you just want me to make meritorious deeds, right?
Jiang Yu'er didn't know what Emperor Pingle was thinking. In fact, by now, this battle no longer requires too many strategies.
To put it bluntly... even if you go up to level A, you will not necessarily lose!
Therefore, Emperor Pingle naturally began to think about the future.
This time, Xijing Baiyi's treason case was cleared up, and the greatest credit seemed to be given to Ji Ruxue, but in fact, people with a discerning eye knew that it was all Jiang Erlang's credit.
Therefore, after returning to Beijing this time, Jiang Erlang will definitely be rewarded and knighted.
But Jiang Erlang is the Queen Mother's man after all...
Emperor Pingle's expedition with his army this time has indeed established his prestige, and it is inevitable to conduct a personal expedition after returning to Beijing. However, if he wants to stabilize the court, he still needs to cultivate some forces belonging to him.
Although Jiang Yuer successfully climbed to the top of the Book Mountain in Jixia and had credit for persuading hundreds of families to join Jixia, these two things are actually considered "literary achievements."
Great Qin has always put military merit first!
Of course Emperor Pingle hoped that Jiang Yu'er could establish military exploits in this battle so as to stabilize his position in the Great Qin court in the future.
"Although His Majesty's arrangements are good, General Zuo..."
"Brother Jiang, don't worry, I will compensate him. Moreover, General Zuo is already a little old. After this battle, it is time to take off some of his burdens." After Emperor Pingle said this, he stopped talking, but the meaning was already there.
Very clear.
Jiang Yuer wanted to say a few more words.
Emperor Pingle waved his hand directly: "General Zuo came to me in the past few days and said that if it wasn't for Brother Jiang, he would have been successfully attacked by the Southern Territory Army last time. He sincerely admires you in his heart, even if I don't do this
Arrangement, I think General Zuo will definitely ask Brother Jiang to lead the army!"
"In that case... okay." Jiang Yu'er thought for a while and nodded.
Although he has no interest in military merit, he does have a very good prestige in the military camp of Da Qin. If he does not get any military merit, it will make the students in Jixia feel that... Emperor Pingle is unfair.
.
…
Everything is arranged properly.
Two days later, the battle that decided the outcome of Da Qin finally officially began.
As expected, Bai Mei lived up to Emperor Pingle's trust and Jiang Yu'er's recommendation, leading the vanguard army straight into the hinterland of the Southern Territory defenders. It could be said that she was moving forward in an indomitable manner, regardless of life or death.
Under such momentum, the Southern Territory Army could only urgently mobilize the left and right armies to protect the central army commander.
At this moment, Da Qin's left and right armies attacked again.
Divided into two directions, the left and right, and launched an attack on the Southern Territory Army at the same time...
What's more important is that the originally lifeless defenders of Shallow Beach suddenly launched a counter-breakout frantically, as if they had been given a shot of vitality.
The Southern Territory Army could only shrink and encircle.
Of course, at this time, a reinforcement force from the southern region also arrived.
This support army appeared in a very strange position. It actually circled directly into Da Qin's rear army and attacked the commander of Da Qin's central army, Pingle Emperor, from behind.
Emperor Pingle's central army was in crisis.
Many generals asked for orders to quickly recall the left and right armies to protect His Majesty's safety.
But Emperor Pingle did not allow it.
He just said: "If the left and right armies are recalled now, then the Southern Territory Army will inevitably counterattack. By that time, the outcome of this battle will be unknown."
Of course the generals know this.
However, the safety of Emperor Pingle was the top priority of the Qin Dynasty.
They continued to advise.
Emperor Pingle insisted on his strategy unchanged: "No, I will never recall the left and right armies. Now the elite from Xijing City are coming. As long as I can hold on for three days, the Southern Territory Army will be defeated. By that time, my crisis will be over.
It will be canceled automatically."
As soon as these words came out, all the generals were frightened.
After all, they only saw military reports about the Xijing army's march south, but the fact is... there is still no 100% conclusion on whether Xijing Baiyi betrayed or not.
And once something happens to Emperor Pingle...
Da Qin is in danger!
However, just as the generals were talking about it, military reports came again.
The elite Xijing army has arrived!
After two days and nights of long-distance attack, the Xijing Army did not take any rest and went straight to the central camp of the Southern Territory Army, forming a pincer attack with Bai Mei's vanguard.
Two days' time.
A fierce battle broke out between the Southern Territory Army and the Great Qin Army.
Finally, two days later, the Southern Territory Chinese Army camp was breached.
The head coach of the Southern Region committed suicide.
The rest of the crowd, surrender!
However, the reinforcements besieging Emperor Pingle's Chinese army camp did not stop attacking, but instead launched a more intense offensive.
But Emperor Pingle personally stood in front of the military camp to boost morale.
The soldiers of Da Qin resisted desperately.
One day later, Bai Mei, Jiang Yu'er and Li Qingbai led their troops to rescue him.
The reinforcements from the southern region were defeated.
At this point, the battle between Da Qin and the Southern Territory ended in a great victory.
…
On this day, the bonfires were brightly lit in the Qin army camp.
Everyone celebrates!
They didn't leave until dawn.
…
After three days of rest.
Li Qingbai led the army back to Xijing City.
Emperor Pingle's squadron returned to the court.
Jiang Erlang and Ji Ruxue, who were in Xijing City, were also on their way back to Beijing.
…
Five more days passed.
At the east gate of Xianyang, the capital, all civil and military officials, led by Prime Minister Han Shen, came out of the city to greet him.
When Emperor Pingle appeared, all the officials knelt down and shouted long live.
Jiang Yu'er knew that from this moment on, the young emperor of Great Qin finally had the prestige to rule the world.
…
Three days later.
In the Qin Imperial Palace.
Emperor Pingle finally formally agreed to take charge of the government after three speeches in the petition from hundreds of officials.
The Queen Mother has no objection to this.
Prime Minister Han Shen strongly supported it.
As for Wuping Jun Mengliang... he would naturally not object. After all, if he could return to the capital alive, it would be Emperor Pingle who led his army to rescue him.
The inauguration ceremony of Emperor Pingle was scheduled for nine days later.
…
Night Detective Division.
Judge Di summoned Jiang Erlang.
And came up with the Queen Mother's will.
"Nine days later, Your Majesty will take charge. This is the last favor given to you by the Queen Mother. She will confer upon you the title of 'Marquis of Yuan'an'. At the same time, she will promote you to the position of deputy head of the Night Reconnaissance Department, in charge of public security in the capital and supervise the six departments.
Civil and military!"
After Jiang Erlang thought for a while, he did not refuse, and just asked: "Where is Miss Ji? How should I award the reward?"
Duke Di sighed: "You should already know Miss Ji's identity. As a princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she already has an identity that ordinary people cannot reach. Moreover, she is not willing to accept the reward of the Great Qin..."
Jiang Erlang understood and said nothing more.
Immediately, leave the night investigation department.
Return to the Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Ji Ruxue is sitting by the lake playing the piano.
Jiang Erlang took a look and suddenly thought of something: "Miss Ji, you said that the scroll disappeared suddenly, somewhere?"
Ji Ruxue put away the strings and answered directly without thinking too much: "I disappeared after I left the Ghost Valley, and the place was in Huai'an County. The reason why I stayed in Huai'an County for some time is, in fact, that
To find the lost painting."
"In Huai'an County?!" Jiang Erlang was suddenly stunned: "Miss Ji, do you still remember what is painted on that scroll?"
"Of course I remember." Ji Ruxue affirmed: "Actually, there is nothing else painted on the painting, just a person."
"A picture scroll of one person?" Jiang Erlang frowned, and then said again: "Since Miss Ji has seen that picture scroll, it should be impossible to imitate it again, right?"
Although Ji Ruxue has become a great chess player in the four realms with her chess skills, in fact, Jiang Erlang knows very well that Ji Ruxue is good at chess, calligraphy and painting.
"This... is certainly possible." Ji Ruxue did not refuse.
So, it was a moonlit night.
By the small lake.
Kuroko and Baizi put down their pens and ink.
Ji Ruxue picked up the brush and began to paint on the white paper.
Jiang Erlang, on the other hand, sat quietly aside and watched carefully.
It can be seen that Ji Ruxue's painting is quite delicate. She first drew an outline, and then slowly drew it together.

time flies.
Half an hour later.
A picture of a character was drawn.
In the painting, a nearly middle-aged man wears a golden crown on his head, a black dragon robe on his body, and holds the Emperor Wu Sword in his hand. In front of him are the Ten Directions Yama and countless ghosts kneeling.
He stood in front of the Senluo Palace in the underworld, with a look of peerless arrogance on his face.
"Emperor Wu's Sword!" Jiang Erlang recognized the long sword in the middle-aged man's hand at a glance: "The person in this picture... is Emperor Wu of Qin's half-son!"
"Yes, the picture on this scroll is indeed about Emperor Qin Wu winning his half-son, but he is already middle-aged." Ji Ruxue nodded and replied.
Jiang Erlang didn't speak anymore, because what he was thinking about now was not just about winning his half.
In the picture in front of me, the man is extremely powerful and suppresses the underworld.
But that's not the point...
Rather, although the man in this painting has reached middle age, has wrinkles on his face, and fish tails at the corners of his eyes, it still makes him feel inexplicably familiar.
Why is it so familiar?
Jiang Erlang was certain that he had never seen the man on the scroll win half his son.
However, it just felt very familiar to him.
This familiar feeling does not lie in the five senses, but in the divine Yun!
The charm of the middle-aged man in the scroll is revealed unintentionally.
Or rather momentum!
"I want to go to the palace!"
"Enter the palace?" Ji Ruxue didn't quite understand.
"Yes, I want to enter the palace and see the Queen Mother!" After Jiang Erlang said this, he immediately left the courtyard without giving Ji Ruxue a chance to ask again.
Ji Ruxue could only look at Jiang Erlang's leaving figure and murmur to herself... Entering the palace to see the Queen Mother so late?
…
Half an hour later.
The Queen Mother, who was about to fall asleep, still received Jiang Erlang under the service of the palace maid.
"Erlang, why are you so anxious to see me so late at night?" After the Queen Mother finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Erlang to speak, she continued: "If you are not satisfied with my reward, you can do it.
To mention it directly, although I am about to return power to the emperor, I can still make the decision now."
Jiang Erlang then thanked the favor: "Erlang has nothing important to do when he comes to the palace this time. He just comes to express his gratitude to the Queen Mother! As for the reward, I am satisfied with it."
"That's it." The Queen Mother nodded and yawned: "It's rare that you are so loyal. You can come to the palace late at night to thank me. I am very touched."
Jiang Erlang knew that these were just polite words...
Are you so moved that you still yawn?
However, what he said was just for show, and he still had to say his true intention.
So, he immediately said: "In addition to thanking you, I actually have another guess."
"Oh? What kind of guess?" The Queen Mother touched her forehead with her hand again and asked.
"Speculations about Yinghuo Shouxin."
"Huh?" The tired look on the Queen Mother's face soon disappeared as soon as she heard Yinghuo Shouxin: "What's Erlang's guess? Tell me quickly!"
"My guess is not confirmed yet. I need to ask the Queen Mother to get some things to support it." Jiang Erlang said immediately when he saw this scene.
"Okay, what do you need?"
"The picture scrolls of the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Qin, are best when they were young!"
"You want to see the picture scroll of our ancestor Qin Wu Emperor?!" The Queen Mother was obviously a little surprised: "Does this picture scroll of our ancestor Qin Wu Emperor have anything to do with Yinghuo Shouxin?"
"Has the Queen Mother forgotten? It was Emperor Qin Wu, the ancestor of the Qin Dynasty, who delayed the arrival of Yinghuo Shouxin." Jiang Erlang said immediately.
"you mean?"
"I want to see the scroll of Emperor Qin Wu to prove whether my guess is correct!"
